Signs that we care this Veterans Day At the 11th hour of this day in 1918, the Allied nations and Germany entered an armistice marking the cessation of what Congress then recognized as “the most destructive, sanguinary, and far reaching war” since the founding of the United States.

Most important, on this and every day, we reward the service and sacrifice of our veterans by providing health care, education and other cruc |
